Biden VP news megathread (pg 286 - been selected, announcement could be today)

Pick Abrams or Baldwin.

Abrams would be a solid pick.

I like her and it should definitely be a younger Black or Hispanic woman.

If it's not her, then probably Kamala (The Cop).

Dear god please make it stop.

She would literally be a worse pick than Palin.

The list SHOULD be: Harris, Amy, Sinema, Whitmer, Baldwin

The top 2: Harris, Whitmer.

Yeah, just throw away a couple Senate seats that the Dems hold ...

And Whitmer just became Governor in MI. Let her do her job there !

In Arizona, the Governor has to
appoint a replacement of the same party.

As for the “just became Governor” ... who cares? Having a good VP pick is much more important. If she became VP then her Democratic Lt. Governor would take over.

I’ll settle for Kamala Harris but I think that Whitmer would be great. From an important state. Female. Executive experience. I think she would be amazing. I also think Sinema would be good but no one is going to take that seriously so forget I even said that.

Whitmer or Harris are the only two that I think would help and not hurt the ticket.

Abrams is the worst choice of all. Demmings not much better. Duckworth is awful. Warren is 70 and would take away a senate seat for about 10 months. Baldwin (senate seat).

So yeah, Harris or Whitmer

What's wrong with Duckworth?

I think, like Klobachur she would be a dull pick that wouldn’t excite anyone. And if I’m being frank I think there’s enough ignorant people out there to question her ability to do the job. Which is a sad thing to say in 2020 but it is what it is.

Yeah, Whitmer's state needs her. I don't usually think that Governors are worth being running mates.

I'm still partial to Baldwin, Duckworth, or Harris.

That’s why she has a Lt Governor.

Considering there isn’t much campaigning going on to begin with - she could continue running her state well into the summer • She’s young, female, executive experience and I think has a personality that would endear her to voters. It would be a GREAT pick IMO

Its gonna be Liz Warren, the smart choice and Biden said he would pick someone with experience and someone he shared the debate stage with, and Liz Warren has Foreign policy knowledge

Explain this logic to me. Biden knows if he’s President he’s only going to be in office for one term, so he has to act quickly on anything he wants to get done (although frankly getting Trump out is almost as big as any policy goal)so for him to be able to act quick and decisively on his agenda he needs control of both houses of Congress including the senate - and gaining control of the senate is a pretty tedious thing for the Dems (needing to flip 4 seats). So why would Biden risk the fate of his agenda & risk being able to appoint SCOTUS judges by selecting a VP that would allow a Republican to pick the replacement?

[MillennialModerate]

Please just pick Harris.

Really anyone but Harris or Whitmer would be a disaster pick.

[MillennialModerate]

I think the promise to pick a woman might be a mistake cause honestly there are so many better choices that are men. And the women who would be good picks he clearly doesn’t want to pick.

Rice - Good in office but awful campaigner
Harris - She seems good but there’s baggage there
Warren - Too polarizing. Would scare off moderate GOP voters
Duckworth: I think this would be a disaster. They’re looking at the combat vet angle and nothing else.

I’m convinced Whitner would be the best choice but hey what do I know
